Amazon Prime Sales: My Two Cents on Supporting Small Businesses

Laura Gallagher

I believe in promoting only the products I genuinely use and support. Prime Day presents a unique challenge for me; as a creator, I love sharing great deals, especially in fashion, with my followers. Yet, as a boutique owner, I've witnessed the negative impact of Amazon dupes on not just my own products but also those crafted by other small businesses. 

These alternatives often compromise on quality and materials, which ultimately harms both small businesses and consumers in the long run. It's disheartening to see the hard work of independent creators overshadowed by cheaper imitations. 

As we dive into a week filled with enticing deals and impulse purchases, I encourage everyone to think carefully before adding those dupes to their carts. Supporting small businesses can lead to better quality and unique items that truly reflect the effort and creativity behind them.

Happy and Smart Shopping friends! 

 

All the best, 

Laura
